Perhaps Royal Cresent, with the leg of the R squared off to sit flat on the baseline?

Thanks for your answer.

I really have no idea. May I ask what would the original inspiration be for this kind of design? Futura, perhaps?

Thanks again.

If you click through the link I supplied above, and scroll down the page, the designer provides the answer (and the R in your sample is actually an alternate character, not a customization):

Royal Crescent is an all caps sans-serif based on Johnston, the font found on London’s subway stations. The uniform width is consistent throughout creating low contrast. There are slight variations, between several upper and lowercase characters which can be used interchangeably.

And Johnston (1916) precedes Futura (1927) by more than a decade.

I didn't notice the link in your answer. I am truly sorry. Everything makes sense now. Again, I apologize.
